The Visakhapatnam civic body, to receive as many responses as possible, conducted various awareness drives as a part of the Swachh Survekshan Citizen Feedback. Celebrities such as Vijay Devarakonda, Sreeleela, KS Bharat, and others were roped in to promote the Eco Vizag campaign and appeal to the public to submit their feedback.

Additionally, the GVMC employed over 400 staff members to maintain the cleanliness in the city. Awareness campaigns were run at various public places to increase among the public.
